英文摘要The polar-orbiting satellite sensor, which can observe the entire Earth's surface with good spatial and spectral resolution, is a potential tool for estimation of global downward shortwave radiation (DSR). However, it can only provide a couple of snapshots in one day, which should be extended to daily-integrated DSR in order to drive the ecosystem models. In this paper, the temporal and spatial uncertainties for estimating of daily-integrated DSR from instantaneous measurements of polar-orbiting satellites are evaluated using geostationary Geosynchronous Meteorological Satellite-5 (GMS-5) observations over East Asia. Those overpass times-including 1030, 1200, and 1330 local time (LT), which correspond to Terra/Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWiFS), and Aqua/MODIS-are evaluated. The combinations of multiobservations are also assessed. The results show that the daily-integrated DSR from polar-orbiting satellite observations of 1030, 1200, and 1330 underestimate solar radiation by 2.16% (0.46 MJ m(-2)), 5.44% (1.16 MJ m(-2)), and 5.54% (1.09 MJ m(-2)), with an RMSE of 2.05 MJ m(-2) (12.92%), 2.50 MJ m(-2) (13.33%), and 2.34 MJ m(-2) (13.95%) in East Asia with large spatial and seasonal variations. In general, the bias is higher in the southern than in the northern part of East Asia. It is low in January, February, and March, then increases from April and reaches the maximum in June and July, and decreases rapidly to lower than 1.0 MJ m(-2) in October. The uncertainties of daily-integrated DSR could be reduced by averaging multiday observations or combining of multitime observations. These uncertainties' distributions are important for evaluation the usability of daily-integrated DSR from polar-orbiting satellite data and probably can be used for its calibration.
